~if u're going to take biology in stpm, i suggest u to get the following books from any bookshop, which are: the biological science volume 1&2, Life on Earth.
~For chemistry, better u get Organic chemistry and Physical Chemistry published by Fajar Bakti. Inorganic Chemistry shd get published from Longman one.
~Pure math or Matematik Tulen, i recommend u to take the fajar bakti's and pelangi's. If u're interested to do further math, then u should consider the Pure Math, wrote by L Bostock and S Chandler.
~PA Kenegaraan pls refer to Longman Pre-U PA. That's a nice books and consists many relevent notes. For the paper 2 of PA, only teachers can help u.

'Bostock and Chandler' is an A-level core mathematics text book. It is not a FM textbook.

very different......but you may buy it for reference.

You can get A-levels FM in any major bookstores.....kinokuniya, MPH, borders etc

Try university bookstore, section 14 PJ, you may find FM textbooks for STPM.

It depends on your own situation and ability. Some people need all the help that is available, some don't need at all.

kimsiang went through STPM without tuition, if my memory serves me right, and got 5As, all 1s!!! So, what do you think?

[victorvandort]

reference books for physics stpm? any good ones? and chem , bio , pa , muet , math T?

I am a lower sixth student this year. Personally I think for Physic you should read both the Longman's and the Pelangi's. Although Pelangi one is the old syllabus, it's sometimes better than the Longman's one since it shows how to derive most of the formulas.

If you don't mind the prizes, these reference books could be useful as added knowledge:

1) General Chemistry by Brown, LeMay & Bursten (10th Edition), Prentice Hall (approx. RM100)

2) College Physics by Cutnell & Johnson, (7th Edition), John Wiley & Sons (approx. RM100)

3) College Physics by Walker (and two more others), John Wiley & Sons

4) Organic Chemistry by Solomons & Fryhle, (8th Edition), John Wiley & Sons (approx. RM 200)

5) Precalculus by Swokwoski Cole, Thomson Publisher.

6) Calculus (forgot the author's name), Thomson Publisher.

and there are many more others which I've forgotten. I'm not taking Biology because I'm currently doing a Foundation course for Engineering in UTP. The last two books are specially for those pursuing engineering courses.
